Welcome to the HWG Fall 2012 Writer's Conference in St. George, Utah. (Me giving the welcome speech to all attendees.) Wow, is all I can say about my weekend long writing conference on October 12-13, 2012. I was not only busy as the HWG President in welcoming our attendees to our first ever writing conference, but also helped David Smith (HWG Conference Chair & Author of the Hidden Mickey series) with overseeing the details of the conference as well as presenting a workshop of my own about how to bring and use your 5 sense in your writing. I would love to say when you host a writing conference that things don't get crazy until the day of the conference, but as you all might have guessed already...it starts weeks before, if not months. However, one of the highlights of the craziness going on around me was picking up our Friday night Keynote Speaker Johnny Tan. He not only flew out from Texas, but is also a dear friend I have known for a few years now. We have never m

What do you do to help balance your writing life with your family life? Kai: I try to set boundaries, like turning off the computer and putting down the book. I also include the family in my writing by asking for their input and dragging them to events. I find that if I’m engaged in their lives, they happily engage in mine. VS: I think that is wonderful how you all try to support each other and share in each other’s hobbies and interests. How long have you been writing? Kai: I’
